About Mission, KS

An Indian mission was established in 1829 at the town's site, hence the name of the later settlement. The site where Mission now sits was once a rest stop for wagons moving westward on the Santa Fe Trail during the 19th Century. [ citation needed ] The clear spring water rising to the surface in present-day Mission made it an ideal place to collect drinking water for horses and travelers. For years the area was owned as a homestead by the Breyfogel family, who subdivided their land into 245 lots and sold them off in the early 20th Century. [ citation needed ] The town grew up slowly in the 1920s and 1930s, benefiting from its close proximity to Kansas City, Missouri.
